inFlow Inventory MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to inFlow Inventory and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 109 inFlow Inventory actions (59 reads, 45 writes and 5 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the inFlow Inventory credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces inFlow Inventory's limits and records every call.

    API key. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

The inFlow Inventory API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 37 of inFlow Inventory's 38 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for inFlow Inventory

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

5 inFlow Inventory actions are destructive. These are all of them:

  • Quick cancelinflow_inventory.sales_orders.quick_cancel
  • Delete a categoryinflow_inventory.categories.delete
  • Quick cancelinflow_inventory.purchase_orders.quick_cancel
  • Unsubscribe from a webhookinflow_inventory.webhooks.unsubscribe
  • Delete a count sheetinflow_inventory.stock_counts.delete_count_sheet

A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Questions

The inFlow Inventory MCP server, answered.

Is there an inFlow Inventory MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 109 inFlow Inventory actions across sales orders, purchase orders, locations and products, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by inFlow Inventory.

What do I need to connect inFlow Inventory?

InFlow API key: as an administrator open Options > Integrations…. Plus your company id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "inflow_inventory" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in inFlow Inventory?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 5 inFlow Inventory actions are destructive, including quick cancel, delete a category and unsubscribe from a webhook. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

Will an AI agent use up my inFlow Inventory API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the inFlow Inventory service file: 60 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (58 inFlow Inventory actions can be), which never reaches inFlow Inventory.

What does an inFlow Inventory action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (109 inFlow Inventory actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls inFlow Inventory refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Which inFlow Inventory API does it cover?

The inFlow Cloud API 2026-10-06 (OpenAPI 3.0.4) at cloudapi.inflowinventory.com. It is built from inFlow Inventory's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 109 actions in 31 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my inFlow Inventory data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your inFlow Inventory credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

Which AI clients can use it?

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
